The Legacy

River Plate won the 1996 Copa Libertadores, defeating América de Cali in the final. Enzo Francescoli captained the side as Hernán Crespo scored both goals in the decisive second leg at the Estadio Monumental. Ariel Ortega and Marcelo Gallardo provided the creative spark in midfield throughout the continental campaign. Adidas produced these kits for the club during a dominant year that also saw them claim the Apertura title in Argentina. The Quilmes sponsor appeared on the front of the home shirts throughout these trophy-winning months.

Key Moment

Winning the 1996 Copa Libertadores, their second continental title, beating América de Cali 2-1 on aggregate after a 2-0 second-leg win at the Estadio Monumental in which Hernán Crespo scored both goals.
